Hasheem Thabeet's NBA career is off to an uninspiring start. In his Grizzlies debut, he managed zero points and only two rebounds in 12 minutes of action. Bleh.

But the UConn product is already bringing plenty to the Memphis community. Recently, Thabeet appeared on Fox 13 to lend a hand forecasting the weather. And if he could pick up the intricacies of the NBA the way took to the newsroom, Thabeet will be holding down the paint sooner than expected.



Prit-tay, prit-tay good.

The weatherman is a dying breed. Another casualty of the internet. But if my local news could get sports stars to pitch in more regularly, I might be convinced to to tune in.

As for Thabeet, it looks like he may have found a career after basketball. Now if only could operate in the post as smoothly as he dresses. That's a seriously nice bow tie.
